From Yonkers City Councilwoman Deana Norman: Today, we had the privilege of coming together at the YWCA for our Annual Backpack Drive serving District 1! It was a beautiful day filled with community, generosity, and a shared commitment to making sure our young people head back to school prepared and confident.
A HUGE thank you to everyone who partnered with us and helped make today such a tremendous success. Your generosity, time, and dedication truly made a difference!

This is what community looks like — coming together, supporting our families, and investing in the future of our children.
Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, partnered, and showed up. Because of you, District 1 students will start the school year with a little more confidence and a lot of community behind them.
Together, we make a difference
